It's only three years old, what kind of whitewashing system is this?

Chapter 93 Feeding the Master a Pancake

Xiao Yuanbo glared fiercely at Xi Yaoyue: "Su Yun is my son. Either you give him back, or let the Xiao family move back in!"

This is an undeniable fact; we are connected by blood, and there's no point in denying it!

Since relations had already broken down, the Xiao family members were also expelled.

Then there's even less reason to show any mercy!

The Su family is unjust, then we'll take Su Yun back!

Xi Yaoyue's hands clenched involuntarily beneath her sleeves. The child was her Achilles' heel; there was no way she could return it.

Moreover, this is being handled in the street. If things go wrong, it might not matter to me personally, but it could damage Yun'er's reputation...

Killing one's own parents for wealth and glory is utterly unacceptable...

Suddenly, Xi Yaoyue felt her clenched hand being grasped.

She looked down and saw Su Yun with his big, round eyes wide open: "Mother, he's not my father."

These words seemed to have a magical power, and Xi Yaoyue's tense body suddenly relaxed.

She narrowed her eyes, reverting to the composed and collected matriarch of the Su family, and asked with a sudden inspiration, "Are you sure?"

Xiao Yuanbo was certain of it.

Xiao Qingchen was brought to the capital after it was discovered that he was a descendant of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

Meanwhile, the Su family also has a child born in the same year and month. If that child isn't their own flesh and blood, what is it?

But... how could the Marquis's mansion be willing to let their adopted son, who had been raised for three years, undergo a blood test to confirm his relationship with other family members?

So when Xiao Yuanbo was asked this, he was stunned: "I...I don't care!"

"Anyway, the Su family has to provide compensation!"

“When she was born, there was chaos and war. We gave Yun’er the most precious thing.”

"If you want to take Yun'er away, you should at least give us compensation!"

Xi Yaoyue felt a loosening in her hand. If it was just compensation, she could accept it.

She asked, "What is the most precious thing?"

In my memory, Su Yun was only covered by a thin blanket and had nothing else on her.

"A pancake!" Xiao Yuanbo exclaimed, hands on his hips. "Back then, his mother and I left him a pancake!"

"Just in case, I can live a few more days!"

Xi Yaoyue was taken aback, then laughed in exasperation: "You leave a pancake for a newborn child?"

No wonder I didn't notice it; this thing was thrown away as trash a long time ago.

Newborns don't even have teeth, how are they supposed to eat pancakes?

Xiao Yuanbo straightened his chest and said, "The pancakes are cheap, but human lives are at stake."

"Do you dare say that Su Yun could have survived without this pancake?"

Xi Yaoyue shook her head; this sophistry was utterly boring.

She was about to speak.

Xiao Yuanbo's expression suddenly changed: "Anyway, the Su family must provide compensation, otherwise Su Yun will be returned!"

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Just as Xi Yaoyue was wondering, she saw a merchant running from the opposite direction.

The merchant cupped his hands in greeting: "Is this the residence of the Marquis of Zhenyuan?"

Xi Yaoyue nodded: "Exactly."

The merchant produced a list: "A Mr. Yuanbo, with his son, Su Yun, the heir of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, as guarantor."

"Through our chamber of commerce, they acquired a large mansion, a complete set of mahogany furniture, 32 servants and attendants, and several guards."

"The account is kept at the Zhenyuan Marquis's residence. Here is the receipt, totaling 1821 million spirit stones."

Xi Yaoyue was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening.

The Xiao family is building up a large mansion outside while they come here demanding an explanation.

Neither side suffers a loss.

Xiao Yuanbo would run away whenever he saw a businessman, fearing that he would be left behind for questioning and the truth would be exposed.

Click.

Xi Yaoyue crumpled the paper into a ball, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay..."

The Su family can afford to pay ten million spirit stones.

Consider it a way to redeem Su Yun from her servitude and sever that ill-fated bond caused by that one pancake...

"Mother." Su Yun had just let go of her hand, but now she ran back again, waving her arm once more.

Xi Yaoyue lowered her head: "Hmm? Yun'er?"

Su Yun pointed behind her: "Mother, whatever that person said, we should accept it."

Xi Yaoyue looked up, surprised: "You are..."

Suddenly inspired, she burst into unrestrained laughter: "Okay, I'll listen to my son!"

Xi Yaoyue said loudly, "Mr. Xiao, I agree."

"The kindness shown to us back then should be repaid."

Xiao Yuanbo hadn't gone far when he heard the sound. Startled, he immediately turned around.

He hesitated for a moment, but still approached the merchant.

So what if they're recognized? The Su family will pay anyway.

Xiao Yuanbo was somewhat incredulous: "Really? You agreed to compensate me?"

Xi Yaoyue nodded: "That's right."

Xiao Yuanbo was overjoyed. Since the other party had agreed, he was determined to make a fortune!

"You gave Yun'er a cake back then," Xi Yaoyue said. "Master Wei!"

Xiao Yuanbo was still pondering how to ask for an exorbitant price when a stranger walked out.

He asked warily, "What are you doing here...?"

Xi Yaoyue clapped her hands: "Then I'll return it ten thousand times over. Master Wei, feed Master Xiao some pancakes!"

"Ten thousand!"

Master Wei is the owner of the corner pancake shop. Su Yun had just brought him over, bouncing around.

Upon hearing that 10,000 pancakes had been sold at once, his eyes lit up: "Woman! Boss!"

"Quickly, bring some bread for this gentleman!"

Xiao Yuanbo was terrified and was instantly overwhelmed by the overwhelming amount of cakes.

He rolled around in the scalding hot pancake: "Xi Yaoyue, are you crazy!"

"I don't want the pancake, I don't want this!"

Xi Yaoyue's eyes gleamed with satisfaction: "Yun'er didn't want the cake back then, so why did you insist on giving it to him?"

She still remembers that chaotic night when her newborn child, whom she had just rescued, cried loudly from hunger.

I fed him myself, not some damned pancake!

Shen Qianwei, standing to the side, was confused: "Should we stop them?"

"What's so dangerous about eating a pancake? We can have him clean it up later and take it all back with us."

The merchants, left standing to the side, were completely bewildered: "Uh... ma'am, that order...?"

Xiao Yuanbo cursed, "Su Yun, you little bastard, I'll kill you!"

"You're not my son, you bastard!"

Xi Yaoyue shrugged: "You heard everything?"

“Su Yun is the heir of the Marquis of Zhenyuan’s mansion. He’s not someone that just any rogue or scoundrel can extort money from.”

"Whoever signs the receipt should be responsible for it."

The merchant understood: "Alright, if they don't have money, kick them out."

Xiao Yuanbo looked at Xiang Shuying for help.

He had just spoken up for her.

She probably wouldn't just stand by and watch her family members end up homeless...

Xiang Shuying looked completely innocent, as if she were about to cry: "Mr. Xiao, I really, really feel sorry for you, but..."

"But my Qiankun bag was taken away, and now I have nowhere to go."

Wow.

A group of servants approached and bowed: "If the Holy Maiden of Xuanqing Sect has nowhere to go, she may come with me to the post station."

After all, it was a powerful force, and the Great Qian Dynasty couldn't just sit idly by.

Xiang Shuying took a deep breath and glanced at the Su residence.

He got into the sedan chair without looking back.

All that remained was a desperate Xiao Yuanbo and the hospitable pancake vendor.

Xi Yaoyue carried Su Yun back to the Su residence.

After a quick clean-up, she found that her son was unharmed and was relieved.

"What about that girl with the big belly?" Xi Yaoyue suddenly remembered.

During the days that Su Yun ran away from home, a sly, long-legged girl would always come to the Su residence.

She's always heavily pregnant, which makes people wonder.

Su Yun said "Oh," and that was Gu Susu, the little clown.

I didn't have a deep relationship with her; she had simply saved my life.

After relaying the message twice, I told her to go back to where she came from.

There's no such character in the story, so logically, they should be dead somewhere.

However, after being enlightened along with the koi, their ability to absorb the spiritual essence of heaven and earth transformed into an increase in fortune.

When the inner elixir is strong, one's fortune is high.

When the inner alchemy is weak, one's fortune is low.

She'll have good luck from now on; she should be able to survive until the start of the main story.

Su Yun replied simply, "There was no contact. I just asked her to pass on a few messages before she left."

"They must be living a good life somewhere."

Xi Yaoyue nodded.

That night, after everyone had fallen asleep.

Puff!

"Ouch!" Gu Susu cried out in pain as she was pressed against the wall.

Click!

Her clothes were torn.
